Season 2: Episode 68
A Face-Melting Look at the Ark of the Covenant
Date Aired: 5/27/2024
If Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark is accurate, peering inside the fabled ark of the covenant will result in mild to severe face-melting and occasional head exploding. In the Hebrew Bible, the ark doesn’t melt any faces, but it does inflict its fair share of divine violence. Guest Rachelle Gilmour explains the fascinating history and lore behind the ark of the covenant.
